Zoomzer cannot go on with its day today without mentioning yet another great event this weekend in Northern California. Local athlete turned fantastic race director, Penni Bengtson, and her production company Finishline Productions are hosting the Third Annual Marine Discovery Run tomorrow, Sunday May 17, 2009, right here in Santa Cruz, California.
Choose from the 5K, 10K or 1K kids event - no, big kids, that last distance is not for you! It is a gorgeous run in West Santa Cruz that starts and ends at the Long Marine Lab. Racers are treated to fantastic views of the Pacific Ocean, a view that makes any run pass quickly! I believe there is still time to sign up. P/S it is nice and affordable and supports a great cause, the Marine Research and Conservation Program at UC Santa Cruz Institute of Marine Sciences. The race site says, "Your contributions will help support the expansion and construction of a state of the art facility totally dedicated to the study and support of the marine animals and their environment. This center will provide an invaluable resource for addressing larger conservation issues of wild marine animals by directly translating cutting edge research into the preservation of marine ecosystems. Working together as a community we can all aid in the conservation of our oceans and the unique marine animals the live below the waves. The entry fees you pay for this event goes directly to helping house and feed the animals already on site at the center, and to support future research."
So help a marine mammal in need, get a good workout, and support this great local race company. And as always, when you are done please post a review on Zoomzer.
